The Buddha questions Sāriputta at Sūkarakhatalena as to
why a monk who has destroyed the Āsavas should revere the Buddha and his
teachings. Sāriputta answers that it is because such a monk has secured freedom
from the yoke. "What kind of security is it?" asks the Buddha, and Sāriputta
explains that it is security obtained by the cultivation of the five indriyas of
faith, energy, etc. S. v.233f.
